All doctorsComprehensive Diagnostics at Polyclinic.ae
At Polyclinic.ae, every patient receives a full spectrum of dental diagnostics — all in one place.
We use the latest imaging and digital tools to give the dentist a complete and accurate picture of your teeth, gums, and jaw condition.
Our diagnostic methods include:
- Panoramic X-ray (Orthopantomogram) – provides an overview of teeth, roots, jaws, and surrounding tissues.
- 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) – essential for implant planning, orthodontic, and surgical treatment. It provides a detailed three-dimensional view of bone and anatomy with exceptional precision.
- Intraoral X-ray – a focused image of a specific tooth, used to detect cavities, infections, or cracks.
- Dental Photography (Photo Protocol) – a set of professional images for planning aesthetic treatments, prosthetics, and tracking treatment progress.
This integrated approach allows us to identify issues early and accurately plan treatment of any complexity — from fillings and root canals to orthodontic correction and implant surgery.
All Diagnostics Under One Roof — Including TMJ MRI
One of the key advantages of Polyclinic.ae is that it offers not only dental but also comprehensive medical imaging within the same facility. If the problem extends beyond the teeth — for example, involving the jaw joints or muscles — you don’t need to visit multiple centers. All necessary scans and consultations can be done right here.
This is particularly valuable for diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Our clinic offers MRI of the head and facial region, which detects disc displacement, inflammation, degenerative changes, and joint dysfunctions. MRI helps determine the exact cause of jaw pain, clicking, or limited movement, allowing coordinated treatment between the orthodontist, surgeon, and neurologist.
Thus, patients receive a complete picture of their oral and overall facial health — from teeth and jaws to joints and related structures — conveniently, within one modern clinic.
